Based on 2 reported violent incidents in a population of 1,063.

What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Grant, AL
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Grant reported 2 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 1,063. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 108.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 188.1 in 2024 (+72.7%). The highest observed value was 285.4 in 2023 and the lowest 0.0 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Comparable rate records
Grant's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Alabama cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Grant's 188.1 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Town Creek (187.8), Luverne (187.1), Hamilton (186.7), Oneonta (185.4). These are same-year agency submissions that pass the same completeness screen, not a claim that the cities have identical conditions. They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 5.7% of the 35 Part I offenses reported in Grant for 2024, against a median of 13.9% across comparable Alabama cities — a gap of 8.2 points. Offense mix is shaped by which agencies report and how incidents are classified as well as by the underlying offenses, so it describes the reported record rather than a settled difference in conditions.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 60.6% of reported property offenses in Grant, against a cohort median of 74.5%. The remainder is burglary (7) and motor vehicle theft (6). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Position in the state cohort
Grant sits mid-pack among comparable Alabama cities
At 188.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Grant ranks 143 of 263 — above 120 of the 262 other Alabama cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -13.3% against the cohort median of 217.1. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property counts dominate Grant's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; cities that fail the completeness test stay out of rate rankings. A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.
Based on 2 reported violent incidents in a population of 1,063. At this volume, one additional or one fewer report can shift the rate and letter grade noticeably; small-city crime counts are inherently more volatile year to year than large-city counts, so treat this grade as a data point, not a precise ranking.
On a small municipal row, small denominators make rates sensitive to a handful of incidents. Figures are reported totals, not neighbourhood advice.
